“The Governor has granted sanction for prosecution against the Chief Minister. It is based on three petitions filed by TJ Abraham, one Pradeep and Snehamayi Krishna,” an official at the Raj Bhavan said.
Based on a petition filed by advocate-activist Ahraham, Gehlot issued a ‘show-cause notice‘ on July 26 directing the Chief Minister to submit his reply to the allegations against him within seven days as to why permission for prosecution should not be granted against him.
